Immortalis: Carpe Noctem by Katie Salidas was a fantastic read! If you have ever wondered what going through the change to become an immortal was like, you will be enthralled with this title.

Alyssa was awaiting the arrival of her best friend Fallon, where they meet every night at the Cafe' Copioh. When Fallon calls to say she won't be able to make it to the Cafe', Alyssa leaves for home.

Not comfortable with the fact that she must walk home alone, she places her pepper spray in her hand. After being approached by what she thought to be a fellow college student, she is brutally attacked.

Sure she is going to die, Lysander comes to her rescue, only a little too late. With no other option than to let her die, he bites her to save her life.

Alyssa must now accept the immortality that has been handed to her, while she also struggles through feelings she has for Lysander. She must learn how to hunt to survive, and keep from being hunted from those that wish to destroy her.

Salidas did a great job portraying what one might feel, and experience while going through the change. Follow Alyssa's journey, as she learns how to live with the condition of being a vampire. From first bite to survival, and finally love.
